If you walk a distance of 8 blocks and then 3 blocks south from home, what is your position compared to home? What distance did

you walk?

Harman [31]3 years ago

The position compared to that of home is a reference to displacement, I believe.

Displacement = x total - x initial

So I believe the answer is 5 blocks due north (if you’re walking linearly from your home), unless the questions is referring to relative displacement, in which then you’d need to use the Pythagorean theorem to find the hypotenuse between both positions. And then you’d have to find theta for the degrees between the south direction and the other unmentioned direction. But I don’t think that’s the case.

Distance refers to x total and doesn’t care for direction, as this refers to a scalar quantity opposed to a vector. Thus the equation is just

d = x

So 8 blocks + 3 blocks = a distance of eleven blocks walked total

Suppose you are drinking root beer from a conical paper cup. The cup has a diameter of 10 centimeters and a depth of 13 centimet
sveta [45]

Answer:

The level of the root beer is dropping at a rate of 0.08603 cm/s.

Explanation:

The volume of the cone is :

V=\frac {1}{3}\times \pi\times r^2\times h

Where, V is the volume of the cone

r is the radius of the cone

h is the height of the cone

The ratio of the radius and the height remains constant in overall the cone.

Thus, given that, r = d / 2 = 10 / 2 cm = 5 cm

h = 13 cm

r / h = 5 / 13

r = {5 / 13} h

V=\frac {1}{3}\times \frac {22}{7}\times ({{{\frac {5}{13}\times h}}})^2\times h

V=\frac {550}{3549}\times h^3

Also differentiating the expression of volume w.r.t. time as:

\frac {dV}{dt}=\frac {550}{3549}\times 3\times h^2\times \frac {dh}{dt}

Given: \frac {dV}{dt} = -4 cm³/sec (negative sign to show leaving)

h = 10 cm

So,

-4=\frac{550}{3549}\times 3\times {10}^2\times \frac {dh}{dt}

\frac{55000}{1183}\times \frac {dh}{dt}=-4

\frac {dh}{dt}=-0.08603\ cm/s

<u>The level of the root beer is dropping at a rate of 0.08603 cm/s.</u>

Explain how this sand dune was created using the words weathering, erosion, and deposition.
MissTica

By abrasion, the sediment in the wind promotes erosion. The wind scatters sand, sand dunes created. When clay and silt are deposited by the wind. The presence of vegetation ground helps stop wind erosion.

<h3>What  is an erosion ?</h3>

Earthen materials were worn away during erosion, a geological process in which they are moved by water or wind. Weathering, a related process that does not involve movement, dissolves and breaks down rock.

<h3>What is caused by erosion?</h3>

The process through which the Earth's surface ages is known as erosion. Natural forces like wind or glacier ice can create erosion. But when it comes to altering the Earth, nothing compares to a slow, constant movement of water, as anyone who has ever seen a picture of a Grand Canyon will attest.
